As asked. It's technically not a religion but it could be seen as one. It at least has a following and is based on religion

Whilst Confucianism is regarded as an ethical and social philosophy, it is also regarded as a religion - you don't need a deity for it to be a religion (Buddhism and LaVeyan Satanism are two prime examples). Plus Confucianism was established upon many religious tenets that made up Chinese society and culture. So given the cultural aspect of it, as well.as the religious aspects, I personally would approve something like this.

I agree with @NicoSolheim-ING. It's very important to the overall zeitgeist of many eastern cultures, philosophies, and religions.
Only acceptable if you include “Confucius says” in the description. All jokes aside this should be considered eligible as you could view it similar to a religion or other things like lodges(American legion, lions club, Masonic lodges etc) that are not religions but group memberships that follow many concepts of a religion or community group.
I'd accept Confucian Society meeting halls and Humanist ones. It's an interesting debate as to where you draw the line though - recently the UK courts confirmed that Ethical Veganism is a protected philosophical belief system, would therefore a Vegan Society centre meet the guidelines?
